Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA) treatment with Lily Nichols

Host Caitlin and Sophia bring on RD Lily Nichols, a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, researcher, and author with a passion for evidence-based prenatal nutrition, to talk about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA). HA is a condition where you do not get your menstrual cycle because of a problem involving your hypothalamus.

FullWell Fertility: Raising the Bar on Fertility Testing
Welcome to another episode of Food, Freedom, and Fertility. Host Caitlin Johnson speaks with Ayla Barmmer of FullWell. Ayla founded FullWell as an adjunct to her clinical practice at Boston Functional Nutrition because she wanted to make the evidence-based, effective, and high-quality supplement they created for their clients available to the rest of the world. After almost two decades working on thousands of complex fertility cases, she learned that no two are alike. In fact, fertility is arguably one of the most common yet perplexing health issues. The vast majority of people receive the most frustrating diagnosis of all: “unexplained infertility.” Popular medical interventions have notoriously poor success rates and often yield tremendous physical and emotional stress, not to mention the financial and relational impact. Ayla synthesized decades of findings, looking at the needs that have emerged from the most straightforward to the most complex cases. Her approach looks at the whole person, in the context of their environments, peeling back the layers until we grasp root issues. Over time, She has observed as many external and systemic causes of fertility issues as internal and specific concerns. For this reason, She believes in addressing the pursuit of fertility health as both an individual and collective need, carefully supporting a wide variety of inputs to build the optimal foundation for conception, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. This episode also speaks about FullWell coming out with fertility testing! A new test kit that will check your Vitamin D levels, TSH, AMH and more! Head to their website for more exciting details!

A fun, honest conversation about food, fertility, and women’s health.
The Food Freedom Fertility podcast started when Caitlin’s mom overheard a conversation between Caitlin and Sophia about fertility nutrition. As registered dietitians and experts in their field discussing fertility nutrition and human health, their banter was funny, honest, and insightful.
Sophia and Caitlin both specialize in prenatal, fertility, pregnancy, and postnatal nutrition, and invite you into their conversation about all things food, freedom, and fertility!
